About Três Bandeiras Coliving

Três Bandeiras is a coliving and coworking community in Ericeira, Portugal, set in a 500 m² house on a 10-are plot with ocean views. It brings together seasoned impact entrepreneurs, nomads, and changemakers for stays of a calendar month or more, blending nature's connection, surf, productivity, and well-being — with a gym, infrared sauna, yoga space, and fast Wi-Fi throughout.

Origin story

Arthur Hendricks and Olivier Kruger founded Três Bandeiras after discovering Ericeira, Portugal — a place that offered everything they were seeking: a vibrant entrepreneurial community, a strong connection to nature, and proximity to the ocean.

They created Três Bandeiras to build "a slice of paradise" where well-being, inspiration, surf, productivity, and focus seamlessly come together — a dream they invite their community to help build.

Community philosophy

Três Bandeiras fosters connection, collaboration, and purpose-driven creation among ambitious entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers. Residents share a common goal: to pursue purpose, growth, balance, and connection in a natural environment that inspires innovation and well-being, creating impact in the world.

The community is built around three pillars:

  • Co-living — being inspired and mingling with bright minds and big hearts, and joining the surfing locals
  • Co-creating — focusing on work and contributing to growth, where business development and personal development go hand in hand
  • Co-thriving — feeling energised by nature's connection, sauna/gym, yoga, and pura vida

A curated application process ensures a great group dynamic, and shared rituals — from family dinners and yoga to vision dinners and sharing circles — help residents feel instantly at home and supported.
